Dear children:
It´s the last day before Easter holidays...
We hope you enjoy your holidays as much as you can!
We highly recommend you to try some scientific experiments at home, with an adult, of course!
Don't forget that you can send pictures of things related to science to sciencequiroga@gmail.com!
Good luck with the Easter hunt!
We are sure that Easter bunny will give you a fantastic Easter egg!
Enjoy kids!
Hi kids!
We received a very special visit last week...Two brothers brought to the school two stick bugs, to show children how cool these insects are!
Maya, our English assistant, visited all the classrooms of the school to show these funny stick bugs!
Thank you MAYA!
Here you have some pics:
And now some extra information about this insect:
The stick bug is a type of insect that actually looks like a stick. It uses camouflage to look like the sticks or branches of the trees where it lives. There is also a leaf type bug that looks like leaves. Together they make up the order of insects called Phasmatodea. There are around 3,000 species of insects in this order.
And some Fun Facts about Stick bugs !
- Females are generally larger than males.
- Females can reproduce without the presence of males.
- Baby stick bugs are called nymphs.
- They are a favourite meal of many animals including birds, primates, bats, and lizards.
- They are sometimes called walkingsticks.
- Many stick bugs eat their old skin after they molt.
- They have a lifespan of 1 to 2 years.
5th grade children are focusing on plants.
Leaves are one of the most interesting parts of plants!
Look how the 5th grade students are working with them!
They play a very important role in photosyntesis, do you know why?
Let see who is the fastest student answering this question... you can give us your answer through sciencequiroga@gmail.com.
Please, don't forget to write personal details such us name, surname and classroom.
Happy Spring!
Happy Spring everyone!
Due to the huge amount and size of homemade robots and the own success of the Android's display situated on the second floor, we have decided to move the exposition to the playground hall situated on the ground floor.
In this way, all the scholar community can enjoy your amazing works, as this "new corner" is more advisible to display the household robots.
Here you have a selection of photos, showing the new space and the last robots arrived to school!
As you know, we will reward your effort building these androids with some awards that will be given after Easter holiday, rewarding the participation of all students in different categories.
If you want to know more about the robot contest, keep your eyes on this blog during the Easter holiday!
